JAMES M. JEFFORDS
Short note from the Congressman thanking Senator Moynihan for his

the hillsides!"
Autograph Note signed: "Jim" as U.S. Senator, 1p,
6¼x4½. On personal Senate card. No place, no date. To "Chairman Patrick"
[Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan]. Ink stamp on verso: "96 Feb 27". In
full: "Thank you neighbor for helping us with the New England Dairy
Compact. We've got to keep those cows on the hillsides. I enjoy working with you
and admire your stand on welfare." James M. Jeffords (1934-2014),
formerly a state legislator and Vermont's Attorney General (1969-1973),
represented his state in the U.S. House (1975-1989) and Senate (1989-2007).
On June 6, 2001, Jeffords changed his party affiliation from Republican to
Independent, causing control of the Senate to shift from the Republicans to the
Democrats. (Republicans regained a slim majority in the body in 2003.)
DIRECTLY FROM THE SALE OF THE ESTATE OF DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN

(1977-2001) as a Democrat representing New York. A prolific author, Moynihan
held positions in the administrations of four Presidents: Kennedy,
Johnson, Nixon and Ford. Moynihan was chairman of the Committee on Environment
and Public Works (1992-1993) and Finance (1993-1995). He lost the latter post
when Democrats lost control of the Senate in 1995. Ink note (unknown hand) at
